Hey Everyone,
Thank you so much for all the love, encouragement and support you guys showed me following my last post. I am making steady progress and feeling so much better. I have even managed to sew a couple of easy projects!
Anyway, today is basically me sharing a couple of shirts that I sewed up in February (really? So long ago already?!) and didn’t get a chance to share on the blog. One was made for myself using my TNT shirt/ shirt dress pattern, Simplicity 8014 (search on my blog for all the different versions I have made using this pattern!) I made this shirt using a printed polyester crepe de chine purchased on eBay. I basically love this, very of-the-moment print, and it’s already been worn loads.
The second shirt was made for Philip using this faded pastel cotton shirting from Fabworks, and my TNT shirt pattern for him, McCalls 6613 (again, search this blog to see all the different versions). I cut the pocket, button placket and back yoke on the bias, and used a contrast plain cotton for the inner collar and button placket.
That’s all I got for you today!
See you soon. x

Omg leopard print win! I love this shirt, Manju! It looks so good and with jeans, so chic too!
Thanks Abbey. I loved the print. Not bad for something that cost me less than £10 to make.
Gorgeous makes, with serious ebay envy over this frabjus crepe fabric! Have been thinking of you, hoping all was going well in your recovery. All best wishes. xx
Thanks Del, I am well on the road to recovery. x
Delighted to hear it! 😘
Looks terrific!
Thanks Jenny.
so glad you are feeling better – and your shirt is fabulous.
Thanks Beth!
Yay for McCall’s 6613.
Lol, thanks Theresa.
Yes, I’d wear the leopard one

Thanks Emily!
The shirt looks so good on you. Such a great fit! I’m also glad to hear you are feeling better.
Thanks Masha Rasha.
Love those animal prints! Nice work! 😍
Thanks so much Linda.
Mad skillz on that plaid matching Manju! And I love how you’ve styled your shirt…..especially your sunnies. Thank goodness it’s spring, yes?
Hope the healing is continuing!
Thanks Sue. Yes, I am so much better than I was.
I really like both f your shirts. Your fitting is great, and I like the fabrics too. Wish my DH would wear a “home made” shirt… It’s good to hear you are on the mend.
Thanks Miss Rosie Lynn. My husband loves to wear the shirts I make for him 🙂
You just totally inspired me to tackle sewing a shirt for my husband. He’s short and thin, so it’s hard for him to find “dress” shirts that fit appropriately (especially in Texas big and tall land)- he LIVES in ironic thrift store t-shirts! Every now and then it’d be nice to be able to go to a fancy restaurant- ha!
Hope you are up and about soon.
Love your blog!
